Reader's Letter: Another 'once in 200-years flood'

This morning traffic passing Royal London on Alderley Road was faced with the fourth "once in 200 years" flooding event since July.

Once again water was cascading onto Alderley Road out of the woodland and driveway on the Royal London site; presumably the new, un-needed empty offices will be built on rafts?

The attached selection of photos show a gentleman, who walks to work from Alderley to Sainsbury's every day, padding down the "shallows" in the centre of the road - and dodging some rather inconsiderate drivers; only
a couple stopped to let him pass. Another shows a United Utilities double water tanker, on its way to pump water somewhere else and one shows the actual level of the Whitehall Brook at the bridge.
